I was supposed to go to Ireland this summer but that didn't work out. I think I will be able to do so next summer. Also high on the list are Scotland, England (again), Italy, perhaps France, Spain. These are the places I actually would go. There are many other places filled with wonderful historic attractions but that are so unstable that I would not take the chance of travelling there: Peru, Guatamala, Egypt, for example.

The US and Canada are filled with incredible beauty of which I have only seen a little. I'd love to get to New England in autumn, Banff, Nova Scotia, the Gaspe peninsula, Glacier Nat'l Park, Yosemite, Monument Valley and the southern part of Utah, Grand Canyon, Alaska, and back to Yellowstone and the Black Hills.

Try Dubai people. That way we can share a drink or two together too .Avoid it in the summer though, unless u need a quick tan. 45-50C outside just plain sucks. It's lovely in winter though.
As for me, I'd love to go to Canada, The Netherlands and Germany someday.

China not yet, although my sister came close to that part of the world (Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia) and she loved it.. plus the food was so cheap.. (you cant beat the authentic ).
Japan, a few friends of mine went during the winter season there, just for snowboarding lol.. all i got from them was "good thick and soft snow".. the people there are quite nice as well as i'm told.

Where's Don (i think its him?).. i heard he's been in Japan for a while..

My sis is draging me with her for a holiday sometime next year to the USA (around springtime in the US). Thinking of going Los Angeles to New York via train maybe.. anyone know of any good places to visit there? Going home via Bangkok or maybe a tour in China/Hong Kong (but it looks pretty expensive right now..)

I have been to a few places in africa like Durban, Johannesburg, Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls and Botswana.

Its a great place to go man. The Victoria falls is one of the best places though, when you go theere the place you want to see is most deffiently the falls. If you go at the right time you can get drenched by the shower of the falls. At the end is a bridge where you can see people bunjee jumping off, crazy people i would never do that lol.

Most places like Botswana are semi desert and there are a few shops to go to there.

If however you are looking to go there i would recommend Cape Town and Johannesburg. I hear Cape Town is beautiful although i havent been there yet. Also another thing to do in Africa is go on those wonderfull game drives to see lion, rhino, buffalo etc. Also ride an elephant if you go its awsome.

Yes you're probably right.. 3 days by train or 1 hr by plane.. but might stop over somewhere to stretch our legs..

Well, by plane it's actually like 6-7 hours (this is a very big country ). But you only see the back of the seat in front of you, little tiny mountains (the Rockies) and little tiny squares on the ground (farms in the Midwest).

You'll see more going by train, but my the cost can be staggering compared to coast-to-coast flight.

I hope you enjoy, either way, there are many wondrous sights and lots of fun things to do just about everywhere
